open, we have devised the following invention, which is a two-section gripping and slidable device for holding the pad of checks in the checkpad holder,,and holding out of the way check stubs of pocket or folding check pads while writing the next check stub-and check; and the objects of this invention are, first, to hold the pad of checks in the padholder; second, to hold out flat out of the way, 5' all previously written check stubs, so that they will not interfere while writing the next check stub and check. This invention may be used in connection with other forms of books.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a side view of the entire device when open; Figure 2 is a plan View of the entire invention; Figr ure 3 is adetailed view of the entire invention in perspective; Figure 4' illustrates in perspective, details of'the lower side of the grip and fiat-tube of the stationary section; Figure 5 illustrates a side View of the slidable section; Figure 6 is a plan View of the slidcheck stubs, when it is pulled out; Figure 7 is a perspective View of the entire device in action.

That section illustrated by Figure 4 is pad of checks, with that portion in the form of a flat tube designated by 3, below the pad and the hook designated by '1 above it, after the pad of checks has been placed properly in the pad-holderthe spring tension of l, holding the pad in the pad-holder and this section of the check-stub holder remaining stationary there until a new pad of checks is needed. Numbers 4 a of Figure 4, shows the way in which the material is folded to form a fiat tube in which the tongue 8, of the slidable section, Figure 6, easily is slidable. Figure 5 is a side view of that section which slides in the flat tube 3, Figure 4, to catch and 50 hold all the previously written checkvstubs able section which catches and holds back the v pressed tightly upon the bound end of the back out of the under 6 of Figure 5, leav- 'ing freedom for writing both the next stub and the next check. l

By Inovingthe slidable section of the assembled and complete invention as shown in 7 Figure 2, slightly farther out, the previously written check stubs being held under 6, Figure 2, are immediately released for closing the check-book, and then as this same section is slid entirely into the fiat-tube of the stationary section attached to the book, 6 fits loosely over 1, allowing freedom in closing the checkpad holder.

In view, Figure 3, 10 represents a slot on the lower side along a portion of the flat tube to provide for the movable projection 9. That portion of Figure 3 designated by 5 provides a stop for the projection 9, to prevent pulling the slidable section entirely out of the flat tube, or farther out than is necessary to hold the stubs when they are turned back. i

In Figure 7, 11 represents the check-pad holder with the Bristol board back, 15, of the pad of checks, 12, inserted in the pocket, 14, of the check-pad holderin such a way that the wide hook, 1 of the stationary section grips thebound end, 16, of the pad of checks to hold the pad in the check-pad holder. The

written stubs, 18, in the pad are also represented by dotted lines, 17, as they are held out fiat by the wide hook, 6, of the slidable section 8.

lVe claim: 7

1. A check-stub holder comprising a stationary section with a long straight portion in the form of a flat tube to be placed under the pad of checks, and with a'wide hook on one end to grip firmly over the bound end of the pad of checks; and a slidable section, with a long straight portionwhich is slidable in and out of said tube just far enough for the wide hook on the outer-end of the slidable section to catch andhold out fiat, out of hook on one end to grip firmly over the bound '1 end of the pad of checks in such a way that the bound end of the pad of checks and the pocket portion of the check-pad holder are gripped together sufliciently tight to hold the pad of checks in the check-pad holder; and a slidahle section, with a long straight portion which is slidable in and out of said tube just far enough for the Wide hook on the outer end of the slidable section to catch and hold out fiat, out of the Way, all of the previously Written check stubs While Writing the next stub and check.
